The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on undulating ground at the SW foot of the Arra Mountains. The feature, densely overgrown by bushes and briars, is a line of three large stones, two of them prostrate while the largest, 2.2m in maximum dimension, is possibly set on edge. The origin of these stones is uncertain but it is doubtful if they formed part of a megalithic tomb. According to an OS Field Memorandum (1938, A/217/44,46) the stones are on a 'lios' while an OS Name Book (1938) states that they are on a tumulus (TN029-025001) but no clear indication of such a feature can be discerned in the heavy growth.

The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
